Compare all
10 ‘He who is the high priest among his brethren, on whose head the anointing oil was apoured and who is consecrated to wear the garments, shall not buncover his head nor tear his clothes;  
11 nor shall he go anear any dead body, nor defile himself for his father or his mother;  
12 anor shall he go out of the sanctuary, nor profane the sanctuary of his God; for the bconsecration of the anointing oil of his God is upon him: I am the Lord.  
13 And he shall take a wife in her virginity.
14 A widow or a divorced woman or a defiled woman or a harlot—these he shall not marry; but he shall take a virgin of his own people as wife.
15 Nor shall he profane his posterity among his people, for I the Lord sanctify him.’ ”

Leviticus 21:12

Out of the sanctuary - To attend the funerals of any person: for upon other occasions he might and did commonly go out. Nor profane the sanctuary - Either by the performance of a civility, or by entering into the sanctuary before the seven days allotted for his cleansing, Numbers 19:11, were expired. The crown of the anointing oil - Or, the crown, the golden plate, which is called the holy crown, Exodus 29:6, and the anointing oil of his God are upon him. So there is only an ellipsis of the conjunction and, which is frequent. And these two things, being most eminent, are put for the rest, as the sign is put for the thing signified, that is, for he is God's high - priest.
